Short update

We are on our own as of almost a week ago. Saturday Stacy and Kari left for Connecticut. They were such a big help to us. We all agree though, it was time to go our separate ways.
Not a whole lot going on other than normal busyness. Yesterday Ryan and I went as chaperons with the youth group to a water park. Bushman's, a family from church, had all three kids all day. One comment made when I picked up the kids was: You really stay busy don't you. Needless to say I agreed. :)
It was good to spend sometime with the youth since I haven't had much time for that since January. I am realizing more and more I think my passion in ministry is youth. They never stop amazing me with suprising intellect or interesting knowledge or the ability to just plain have fun.
Today, Owan is hanging out with one of his "grandmas" from church, Sue P. This gives me a chance to get some packing done...hopefully. Which means I should sign off now. :)

I'm glad you were able to enjoy your time with the youth group. I'm also glad that you have been able to get some time to pack. The pictures of Owan, Clara and Elsie are so cute. I can't believe how big they are. It's amazing. I'll talk to you soon!!

So fun to see how the girls are growing!! Owan, too! It is awesome to see the Lord leading you to CT, and yet I can just imagine the mixed emotions you are experiencing. Bethany is such a special church with so many awesome families. They will miss you greatly!! Looking forward to hearing more about your new home, church and life back East!
